Third Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM)

About Event

We warmly welcome you to the historic and picturesque city of Bath for the Third
Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM).

• 16 Sep 2026, 10.00am to 17 Sep 2026, 4.00pm BST (GMT +01:00)
• East Building, University of Bath

This conference brings together researchers from the diverse field of porous
materials, fostering collaboration across their many scales of study, application, and
porosity. Our aim is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, methodologies, and
potential applications while showcasing advances in fields including renewable
energy, gas separation, catalysis, water treatment, electronics, and healthcare.

 

Keynote speakers (more to follow):

• Prof. Julia Glaum, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) –
  Porous Bioactive Materials
• Prof. Sir Richard Catlow, University College London and Cardiff University –
  Atomistic Modelling of Nanoporous Materials
• Dr Jan Manuel Hinterstein,  Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkstoffmechanik (IWM)–
  Porous Electroceramics

 

Ticket prices

• In-person ticket – £120.00 (GBP) Ticket price includes lunch on both days
  and a conference dinner in Bath with drinks at the Roman Baths on 16
  September. We have kept the price as low as possible to encourage Early
  Career Researchers and Students.
• Online ticket – £50.00 (GBP)

Registration closes Wednesday 9 September at 5pm.

 

Call for abstracts

We invite abstracts covering a broad range of topics that reflect the different scales
of study, use, and porosity in porous materials research. The themes include:

1. Scales of Porosity – Encompassing microporosity, mesoporosity,
   macroporosity, and hierarchically porous structures.
2. Scales of Study – Ranging from molecular-level investigations to nanoscale
   phenomena, all the way to bulk material behaviour.
3. Scales of Application – Covering materials applied on the scale of
   milligrams through to industrial-scale processes, including scale-up case
   studies.
4. Temporal Scales – Addressing both short-term, high-frequency
   characterisation to long-term performance assessments of porous materials
   and associated technologies.

Please note that we welcome poster presentations from underrepresented groups.

Please send us your abstract using our template and return to epomm@bath.ac.uk by Monday 15 June.
